He remained on the farm in his native county until he was eighteen years of age, at which time he emigrated to this county with his father's family, who settled in Liberty Township, where his father had purchased 320 acres of unimproved land. They immediately began to clear and improve the land and make a home.

The father lived on this farm for many years, then removed to Bluffton, where he passed the remainder of his days, his death occurring February 20, 1876. The mother had previously died in Ohio, and the father married *Rachel Humphrey for a second wife.

Our subject resided with his father until his marriage, which occurred November 8, 1852, with Miss Margaret Porter, daughter of Robin Porter, who was born in Mahoning County, Ohio.

After marriage they settled in Liberty Township, where they lived three years, then removed to Harrison Township, and came to his present farm in 1870, where he owned fifty acres of improved land.

Mr. and Mrs. Glass have one child - Arena, wife of Jacob Thompson, residing in Liberty Township. Mr. and Mrs. Glass are members of the Christian church, and politically Mr. Glass is a Democrat.

Robin Porter, the father of Mrs. Glass, is one of the few early settlers of Wells County that are now living. He was born in Pennsylvania about the year 1796, son of Aaron Porter, who removed from Maryland to Pennsylvania, thence to Ohio when a boy. He married Elizabeth Parshall when a boy, and in 1849 removed to Wells County, settling in Liberty Township. His wife died in Ohio, leaving twelve children.

He was married a second time to Jane Burroughs, and they had two children. His second wife died and he afterward made his home with Mr. Glass. He is now ninety-one years of age. He is a member of the Disciple church, and retains his mental vigor to a remarkable degree.
